Re: Hardware Recordings with S5B Chip

1. Just the 5B 2. Hard clipped 3. Do you want the dB level or the "$0x" volume level? I don't understand how you are answering these questions. You don't have a 5B, do you? Oh shoot, I though you were referring to the YMZ as "5B". I was answering with what happens with that. Car...

Re: Hardware Recordings with S5B Chip

Questions I need to answer: 1. Clipping of just the 5B, just the 2A03, or both together? (Can probably answer this by analyzing the circuit, visually.) 2. Is it hard or soft clipping, or more complicated than that? (Most likely close to ideal hard.) 3. What is the clipping threshold, and is it asym...

Re: Hardware Recordings with S5B Chip

Maybe someone can share me theirs to confirm. I might have bumped the volume of the YMZ just a tad (for preference, it's still way under what it would sound like on an AV Famicom) http://a.pomf.se/lcdyrz.JPG The knobs/chips: YMZ - YMZ SLOT4 - RP2C33 SLOT3 - VRC7 SLOT2 - N163 (varies according to ch...

Re: Hardware Recordings with S5B Chip

...I believe it has a hard clipping behaviour when the amplitude of the input signals gets loud enough... ...I doubt the TNS boards make any attempt to recreate this... The HFC5 clips a few of the YMZ's levels if you set the mixing approximately to that of a Gimmick! cart, however, the HFX4 clips t...

Re: Commercial FDS NSFs not playing on hardware.

All three of the ones I listed play, but none of your four fixed NSFs will. The only one mentioned in that thread that works is Namida no Soukoban

Commercial FDS NSFs not playing on hardware.

Having relatively recently obtained a TNS-HFC5 and, extremely recently, a TNS-HFX4, I've been trying out many NSFs on real hardware. I can currently play files using the VRC7, 5B, and/or FDS, but I've noticed that the vast majority of FDS NSFs ripped from commercial games won't play at all. The file...
